yeah, thank god she was raped.

Yes, it does prove that you're a worthless piece of shit. Thanks for agreeing.

Because Kickstarter's not in the business of refunding peoples' money. They already took their cut, and have warned people that sometimes projects go under water. It's not their job to make sure the developers follow through.

As I said in another comment, this company probably set up an LLC for the project, which separated the individual employees (aka the assholes) from the company (who was the actual recipient of the money). The "company" then gave all the money away to its "employees," and then when threatened with a lawsuit, the…

If the developers are half-smart con artists at all, then they would've formed an LLC first, and THEN blown all the money on themselves, then declare bankruptcy. The company owned the money, and then gave all the money away (to its employees). Only the company is liable, but has no means to pay it back. The money's…

that's why people need to also stop calling it an investment. at best it's a preorder (and that's only if it turns out well) and at worst it's a donation (well worst is that they were panhandling and spent the money on booze, but regardless it's money you gave them with no realistic expectation of anything in return).…

That's what I'm saying; it seems counterintuitive that the drives would be cheaper with all the external crap around them than if it was just bare; meanwhile, why can't I also just buy whatever drive they're putting inside the externals as a bare drive? THAT has to be cheaper than the version in the case. Because I'm…

As someone who loves their Hard drive dock and being able to hot-swap drives, it's disappointing to see so many deals on external drives while internal drives remain basically stable. I'm tempted to buy the externals and just remove the drive from inside them, but it feels wasteful.

statistically you answered before proving your geek cred to me, so i can only assume you're a worthless piece of shit.

I do this too, with AT&T. I actually am usually only on the 300mb plan since I work from home and on wifi most of the time, but I keep an eye on my data usage and whenever I feel like I'm getting close to going over, I switch the plan to the 3GB plan. AT&T prorates the charge so I get charged for the percentage of the…

Ironically it seems like this practice (release a new app and charge for it if you want people to pay for upgrades) seems like the best possible compromise between developers and consumers, which is to say there's an equal benefit and cost between the two parties.

Listen, I actually am not entirely against you with regards to geek cred; I had huge problems with the show "King of the Nerds" even though two of the contestants are friends of mine (two of the girls, no less). I have problems with commodifying the concept of geekiness in general, because I think it misses the point…

I would believe you if you could prove that you make EVERYONE equally prove their geek cred regardless of what they look like, they gender, race, etc. If you're targeting girls, jocks, or other people more than the skinny white kid with zits and glasses, then that's as heinous as following the black kid wearing a…

What if they spend hours and hours playing CoD and Madden? I used to play CounterStrike for hours at a time when I was a teen and I'd argue both that I was a hardcore gamer and that CS is a less hardcore game than CoD.

Student loans.

I bet it would've been good storage for some empty calories and male curiosity.

The 15" and the 21UX (first gen) were both bought used off craigslist. The 15 I purchased for 750 dollars and then 2 years later sold for 700. I bought the 12wx new for 1000 and then sold for 500 (it wasn't all that great other than I could fit it in a backpack). The 21UX was bought for 800 I believe. Functionality…

This just reminded me of how the number of screens I had fluctuated as I went through and past college:

around 6th grade I taught myself to be able to induce the Magic-Eye effect really easily... none of that crossing your eyes or looking really close and pulling back. So whenever I see these side-by-side photos my eyes pretty automatically shift to Magic-Eye mode.

and all that food your parents bought you as a kid went down the crapper. doesn't mean they shouldn't have fed you at all, and doesn't mean those toys weren't thoroughly enjoyed.
